My players are on the final stretch of RoTRL, and prismatic wall...man is that mean. But how to best effectively use it?
The spell says it is a vertical wall, but may it be placed at a vertical diagonal with a corner? it doesn't have the same restrictions as the wall of force needing solid, unbroken ground. so if you placed it in a corner would it work coming up at say... a 45o angle? My plans are to reverse gravity on a player or two if placement works, and have them fly up racing into a prismatic wall.
anyone have feedback?
vertical is vertical -- not slightly horizontal.
Also part of what it does is block magic so don't put it between yourself and your target if you want to cast other spells on your target.
well, looking at it objectively, as long as it is at or above 45 degrees in a vertical angle, it is still classified as vertical, rather than horizontal. its either that or place it against a wall behind them and telekinesis the players through it(i play with a bunch of power gamers and i do not believe karzoug will even scratch them unless they need to make a lot of saves, thus i want to make prismatic wall effective.
It's very effective -- at giving the players a good defense.
Basically put if you cut them off you can't cast at them -- the wall blocks all magic.
Also it goes up vertically that's what it does -- you want to start allowing angles just remember that the players will do so to you as well.
IF you really want to challenge them post up your party and ask for advice -- I'm sure we can trick you out well with an encounter that will be tough.
But honestly this is simply shenanigans -- ask yourself, "Would I allow a player to get away with this?"

Vertical is vertical as AS said. If you want to use it to mess the players up, use Telekinesis, the Hand spells to knock or move them, Bull Rushing minions, giant creatures using knockback abilities, etc.
asking one of my players, they did present the logic/vs game mechanics.
he did point out however, that it does not need to be anchored to any surface, and therefore could be floating at the height of the reverse gravity, making all of this angular nonsense a moot point. ><
